Solution

The correct option is D
Radioactivity

Radioactivity refers to the particles which are emitted from nuclei as a result of nuclear instability. A radioactive atom is one that spontaneously emits energetic particles or waves known as radiation. This radiation is emitted when an unstable nucleus starts transforming into some other nucleus.
